Ackerman (surname)
Acker comes from German or Old English, meaning "ploughed field"; it is related to or an alternate spelling of the word acre.[1][2] Therefore, Ackermann means "ploughman". Ackerman is also a common Ashkenazi Jewish surname of Yiddish origin with the same meaning. The Ashkenazi surname Ackerman sometimes refers to the town of Akkerman in Bessarbia, south-west of Odessa.[3] "Egger" is a German variation of Acker.

gollark: Wow, my internet connection is very terrible right now.
gollark: I see.
gollark: Filtering for programmers is one thing, but filtering out "simps" seems rather orthogonal.
gollark: Maybe you should be clearer about what you're actually trying to filter? And have separate things for each criterion?EDIT: and explicitly making a high-effort filter is possibly not good as it may drive away people who are busy who you'd otherwise like, although if it's just "compile some C" it's probably fine.
gollark: I should reuse and actually finish the thing I was going to port my "IQ test" to.
